My blog friend Carolyn has a weekly photography meme she calls "Messy Little Details." I enjoy this meme, although I only participate sporadically, and I have turned it into a way to share some of my photography edited in picmonkey. I've had a few photos on my phone that I've been wanting to play with for a while.The first one is of my cat, J.J., with a quote from Mary Bly.

The second one is a photograph I took while walking the dog, with a quote from Anatole France:

So, can you pick a favorite from these three?If you want to link up, check out this week's post at this link.

My favourite is the middle one taken whilst walking your dog. Like you I always have my camera with me when out with our beautiful German Shepherd, Fleur.You never know when you'll come across an item on the scavenger hunt list!

The first quote is so true it is tempting,I love the second picture but the third picture of what we call Cow Parsley together with a simple quote really strikes home for me.Perhaps it's because the plant and the quote are familiar...
